Home and Family is like a heaven. All of our families are at risk. We need to help one another stay
committed to our husbands and our children. The world cannot offer us
enough to forsake them in any way.
These are the ten points of advice for a happy home and family. These are principles that are
everlasting, and we would be wise to honor, teach, and live them still.
1. Avoid the next quarrel:
Never
lose temper at the same time.
Don’t let the sun set on your quarrels
(Never prolong fights if at all started). It is OK to say “I am sorry”.
2.
Do not expect perfection from your spouse:
Marriage is coming together
of two imperfect beings. Don’t expect wife or husband to like this or
that, accept them as they are.
3. Be a good listener:
Think
before speaking, it is a good idea to weigh before you speak. You are
master of unspoken words but slave of spoken words. Better than
listening from ear is listening through mind (with attention) and better
than that is listening from heart.
4. Be a good forgiver:
Some
people forgive but they keep the memory alive or they forgive
conditionally. Forgiveness should be complete and unconditional.
5. Grow in the spirit of humility:
Be humble. Egos bring arrogance which divide and separate people.
6.
Learn the art of appreciation:
We all like to be appreciated. Always
appreciate in front of others. Never criticize in a company of friends
and relatives you will get opportunities in privacy.
7. Do not
argue:
Winning love and friendship is far greater than winning an
argument. It is OK to discuss with an open mind. Learn to win love and
affection rather than arguments.
8. Develop healthy sense of
humour:
Learn to laugh and be cheerful. It is a great tonic for healthy
living and being accepted by friends. It is important to laugh with
others and NOT at others.
9. Always lend a helpful hand:
You will win over if you have this attitude of offering a helpful hand with or without asking.
10.
Bring ALLAH (GOD) back into your home:
This is one of the most important one.
Have a common time for prayers. It brings families together. Families
that pray together stay together.
“No success can compensate for failure in the home”.
